Navman EZY260LMT Review

The Navman EZY260LMT is a GPS unit from Navman. It comes with a USB cable and suction cup mount. The GPS normally mounts to a windscreen with a clear view of the sky. First of all, a few of the negative things I have found with it. The touch screen is a bit hard to push, it’s a bit slow to respond, the desktop software is a bit basic and the menu is quite basic, but easy to use.

Now a few of the good points. The maps are easy to see and the voice is clear. The GPS reception is good. The navigation is good, in the city as well. The unit I got also has lifetime updates for the maps. Has all the points of interest in its data base including hotels, motels and shopping centres and has landmark guidance for example: turn at the nearest Caltex. One more thing, there are different route options such as, avoid unsurfaced roads, toll roads and ferry’s. Also fastest, most economical routes.

The unit can save locations in “My Places”. It also uses land mark guidance.. and the map can be set in 2D or 3D. There are driving alerts such as: speed, driver fatigue, speed cameras, school zones and speed limits. There is a Bluetooth phone feature for taking calls. The unit also uses historic speed data. The voice can be changed to male and female and also different languages.

The desktop software is quite basic including the mapping software when its plugged in to the computer. Points can be saved from the desktop on the map as well. There is a backup facility and restore also.

All in all it’s a good unit. A bit slow to respond but the maps are good and navigation is good. Has never led me in the wrong direction.
